Punch through the space node and completely stabilize it?
’Did I hear that right?’
Not only was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley stunned speechless, but Elder Huang and his disciple also froze in place, feeling like something was wrong with their ears.
Either that, or Su Mo had lost his mind.
Elder Huang asked dazedly, "Did you hear what he said?"
Elder Huang’s disciple replied, "I heard him clearly. He said he’s going to punch through the space node and completely stabilize it."
And Su Mo truly intended to do just that.
On one hand, it was to thank Medicine King Valley for giving him the Thousand-Year-Old Purple Spirit Ginseng. On the other hand, it was for his own convenience.
In the future, if he ever needed more Spiritual Medicine, he could have Medicine King Valley enter the Ancient Medicine Garden, gather them, and deliver them to the Xiao Family, saving him a trip.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley asked tentatively, "Friend, you also understand Arrays?"
"I know a little."
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
He had studied the Nine Dragon Supreme Array Manual, allowing him to master all the Arrays in the world and casually set up any super Grand Array.
To say he knew "a little" was already him being very modest.
However, to Elder Huang’s ears, those words were incredibly grating.
Elder Huang scoffed, "You dare be so arrogant just because you know ’a little’? Hmph, what presumptuous brat is this? You truly don’t know your own limits. Even I wouldn’t dare claim to be able to completely stabilize the space node. What gives you the right to make such shameless boasts?"
Su Mo replied calmly, "That can only mean your skills are lacking and you’re all show and no substance."
"Insolent!"
Elder Huang turned to the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley and said, "Is this how your Medicine King Valley treats its guests? Fine. Just fine. Today, either he leaves, or I do. Medicine King Valley can make its choice."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley looked troubled.
"What, did I hit a nerve? You’re flying into a rage out of shame just because I said your skills are lacking?"
Su Mo pointed at the space node and said, "This space node looks dangerous, but in reality, it’s not dangerous at all. There’s no need to set up an Array to stabilize it. The simplest method is to just forcibly smash through it with your body."
What!
’Smash through it with his body?’
’Is that even possible?’
Elder Huang burst out laughing. "Hahaha! It’s normal for young people to be full of vigor, but you’re being too ridiculous! I’m practically struck dumb. You like ramming things with your body, do you? Fine, then. Go ram it right now. It’d be best if you just rammed yourself to death."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley secretly shook his head.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Su Mo, but that Su Mo’s claim was so outrageous that no one could possibly believe it.
Elder Huang’s disciple watched Su Mo mockingly, settling in to enjoy the show.
Su Mo, however, remained perfectly calm.
’The only reason Elder Huang and the others find this laughable is that they’re just frogs in a well who have never seen the real world.’
’It proves nothing else.’
Su Mo said confidently, "More words are useless. Since you don’t believe me, I’ll show you with my actions."
BOOM!
Su Mo stomped on the ground, launching himself toward the space node.
"No way, is he really going to smash through the space node with his body?"
"He’s courting death!"
"Don’t stop him. Let him ram it."
Elder Huang and the Valley Master were both stunned. They had thought Su Mo was just trying to save face by making a joke, but they never expected him to actually go through with it.
At that moment, Su Mo had already reached the space node and crashed straight into it.
BANG!
After a muffled thud, Su Mo’s body plunged directly into the space node.
At that instant, heaven and earth trembled.
"Ahhh! He really crashed right through it!"
"Th-th-this..."
"To withstand a space node head-on, just how tough is his physical body?"
Elder Wang and the two Elders Mayi, who had rushed over after feeling the tremors, saw this scene and their jaws dropped to the floor.
They had originally thought Su Mo’s physical body was merely comparable to steel.
But now... Su Mo’s body wasn’t just comparable to steel; it was ten times, even a hundred times harder.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With every step Su Mo took, the world trembled violently, leaving a human-shaped tunnel in his wake.
"The space node that my Medicine King Valley spent hundreds of years of effort to barely stabilize... he smashed it open with his physical body."
The Valley Master’s face was a mask of shock.
Elder Huang was equally stunned.
He had thought Su Mo was just bragging, but he never imagined Su Mo would actually forge a tunnel with his own body.
The spatial energy around the tunnel had been compressed into shape, making it exceptionally stable. Anyone could pass through; there was no need to set up an Array at all.
Just then, Su Mo arrived before a spatial storm.
SWAT!
With a casual slap, the spatial storm was annihilated.
SWAT! SWAT! SWAT!
Su Mo consecutively slapped away more than a dozen spatial storms before finally arriving in front of the strongest one.
At this moment, a golden light automatically emerged from within Su Mo’s body, enveloping him completely.
True Dragon Golden Armor!
After activating the True Dragon Golden Armor, Su Mo walked toward the strongest spatial storm without hesitation and crashed into it head-on.
BOOM!
With an explosive bang, the strongest spatial storm collapsed by more than half.
BOOM!
With another step, the strongest spatial storm completely disintegrated, vanishing between heaven and earth without a trace.
"Th-th-this..."
Everyone from Medicine King Valley was completely numb with shock.
The strongest spatial storm, the one that had devoured five Grand Martial Artist Realm Body Refining Martial Artists, had collapsed in two hits after encountering Su Mo’s physical body.
Strong!
Too strong!
At this very moment, when Elder Huang looked at Su Mo, all traces of his previous arrogance were gone.
In its place, there was only reverence.
Su Mo turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, the Ancient Medicine Garden is just ahead. Anyone who wishes to gather Spiritual Medicine may come with me."
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH!
Everyone leaped into the spatial tunnel!
BANG!
Elder Huang’s disciple slammed a fist against the tunnel wall. The wall didn’t budge in the slightest, as if it were forged from steel.
Hearing the sound, the Valley Master and Elder Huang jumped in fright, nearly scared out of their wits.
Elder Huang roared angrily, "You wretched disciple, what are you doing?!"
Elder Huang’s disciple chuckled sheepishly, "My apologies, Master. I was just curious how hard the tunnel wall was, so I gave it a good punch."
What!
Elder Huang and the others instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
This was a spatial tunnel! If he caused it to collapse, they would all die inside, with absolutely no chance of survival.
Elder Huang said furiously, "You beast! If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!"
Elder Huang’s disciple said aggrievedly, "That’s not it, Master. This tunnel wall is incredibly hard. I can’t even make a dent in it. If you don’t believe me, look."
BANG!
Elder Huang’s disciple punched it hard again, nearly scaring the Elder to death.
Elder Huang went berserk, roaring in fury, "Ahhh! I’m going to strangle you, you beast! Are you trying to get me killed?!"
"Wait!"
Just as Elder Huang was about to strangle his disciple, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley stopped him. "Elder Huang, it seems this tunnel wall really is incredibly sturdy."
Elder Huang said, surprised and doubtful, "Is that so? Let me try."
Su Mo walked over and said, "Don’t hold back. Hit it with all your might. If you can move it, I’ll count it as your win."
BOOM!
Encouraged by Su Mo, Elder Huang channeled all his strength and slammed a fist into the tunnel wall.
As a result, the tunnel wall showed no reaction whatsoever, but his hand was sent numb from the impact.
Elder Huang’s right hand trembled as he said in disbelief, "It’s really this hard?"
